suit your needs.

The operational features you can set and change are:
•
Operational convenience
— Updating date and time
— Changing keyboard speed
— Switching speaker sound
— Specifying display features.
•
Power management
— Internal device power-off time
— System power-off time
— System speed
— Power control for communication devices.
You change and set them using the Set features program or sample
batch programs supplied by the Reference Diskette.
Setting and Changing the Operational Features
There are three ways to set and change the operational features:
•
To start the backup copy of the Reference Diskette each time you
want to use it. For more details, see "Starting the Set Features
from the Reference Diskette" on page 56.

To store the Set features program on your fixed disk or diskette
including the control program.
This can be done by selecting Install set features program on
the Set Features Main Menu . Once the program is resident on
your fixed disk or diskette, you can call and change any of the
operational features by entering commands at the command line,
